Twenty-year-old Nicol Powell from Salt Lake City was crowned Miss Utah USA 2015 this past December. During the pageant she also won the Miss Photogenic award. Growing up a tomboy playing volleyball, she never dreamed of modeling, and especially not entering pageants.

Nicol is currently a model and is represented by the About McCarty Talent Agency of Utah. She is a volleyball player- receiving a First Team All-State Award her senior year at Skyline High school and was the 4A MVP for the state of Utah in 2011. As a sports lover, she hopes to someday become a sports reporter for a television network.

Not all that glitters is gold. Being a model and pageant winner, Nicol has often found herself treated as any stereotypical, tall, skinny, beautiful, with-no-brains type. “Beauty will only take you so far," she says.

To her, the title of Miss Utah USA is a job and she is hoping to make Utahns proud of her at the Miss USA competition this July in Baton Rouge. Nicol will have a few months to prepare for Miss USA 2015, where she hopes to be crowned by the reigning Miss USA, Nia Sanchez. We wish her all the best!

I got to watch my little sister, Nicol Powell, be crowned Miss Utah USA 2015!! I have never quite felt the nerves, stress, excitement and gratitude that I did over the over the last couple of days watching my best friend succeed on such a big stage.

I am still overwhelmed with happiness that she gets to experience wearing the crown and representing such an amazing state. There isn’t a better feeling in the world that seeing your siblings radiate with happiness and achieve their goals. I am a PROUD big sister today!!!"
